The hotel overbooked and so told us that they didn't have a reservation for us after a long and exhausting journey. Luckily, we found a better hotel near by. AVOID THIS HOTEL.

Steve's review
We were very happy with the location of the hotel from where one can order a Uber or a Tuk Tuk for transport. Supermarkets and shops are within reasonable walking distance. The staff were available to clean the room every day and the room itself was nice an spacious with an ensuite shower room. There were two tables, two chairs as well as a refridgerator and a television. It was nice to have breakfast included which consisted of an omelette, bread,butter, jam, tea coffee, juice etc.

good location, fair price, nice terrace
We stayed two nights in separate periods. Once in double and once in triple. The double room faces the roof terrace (internal court) and was quite pleasing. The triple room (room 20) was next to the kitchen and the smell and noise were very disturbing.
Overall cleanliness could be definitely improved, and we had both times to ask for towels.

Not worth the effort.
This place is an absolute hoax, I highly recommend you never stay here unless you love to share your room with cockroaches.
Also don't expect your complaints to be addressed and should you find yourself having to check out and requesting your refund, you are given less than 15 mins to vacate as if you were an unruly guest.
Kindly delete this place from your database.

No AC
Room was too hot to sleep, unit set at 16c and blew cool at best, fan did not help. Breakfast was ok. Location was central to old town and fort.

Dirty, smelly, unpleasent
Almost vomited from the smells. Photos on web of hotel misrepresent how dirty, dingy and disgusting this hotel is. After sleepless night I checked out without compensation. Creepy hotel with zero amenities. Most unpleasant shower and room decor. No internet, no beer sold as it’s Muslim halal hotel. Disgusting hotel

Vergammelter Zustand.
Das Zimmer hat schon sicher bessere Zeiten erlebt. Heruntergekommenes Mobiliar im Zimmer und vor dem Zimmer auf der Gemeinschaft Terrasse, Bad ekelhaft mit vielen Rostflecken und Ausbesserungen. Einrichtung beschädigt. Insgesamt ein erbärmlicher Zustand, nachdem auch das Frühstück spartanisch ausfiel.

Man får hvad man betaler for
Til prisen er det udemærket, men det er bare en sted man kan sove og få et bad ikke et sted man kan bruge tid på at sidde og slappe af. Morgenmaden er okay.

nice hostel but quite dirty. The rooms are OK-ish but I got an electric shock in the shower because of the electric heater system. The wifi didnt work properly in the rooms. The AC and the ventilator were quite poor, the window in the bathroom was broken and the light over it almost falling. The only window in the room was boarded up. Sadly, I think the price of the rooms is WAY TOO HIGH for the comfort !

as expected, a good value in a great location
I've stayed here before so I knew what to expect. It was as expected. This is a get-what-you-pay-for hotel. It is inexpensive but in a great location. Nothing special, a little run down, but clean and comfortable.

Super fast check in and check out. Good bed with mosquito net on the upper floor. Though the room was by the road, it was very quiet.

Così così
La posizione dell'albergo è molto buona per visitare il centro città. La camera era molto mediocre. Bella la terrazza interna.
